Do You Want to Promote Your Business on OpenHub?

Some of our readers (mostly entrepreneurs) have been asking us why we don’t run sponsored posts. Their questions have been answered. We are now offering the opportunity for entrepreneurs to send in sponsored posts. Our ad space is actually limited so we will make sure we screen content carefully.

Why Sponsored Posts?

What entrepreneurs in Africa fail to understand is that marketing is just so cheap that every entrepreneur can go in to. Africa is the land of plenty, yet we still live as needy people. Most of our products and services are imported. This is not because we don’t want to consume our own. It is because we don’t even know if our own exists. This is because we lack exposure. We don’t let the world know about our various products and services that we offer. These end up in the in our local community with very few knowing about it.

AfriStartup- Openhub with the help of some of it’s followers now came out with a solution to this – Blog Post Sponsorship.

Blog Post Sponsorship

The blog post sponsorship will expose the works of aspiring entrepreneurs, business owners, influential entrepreneurs as well as their audiences across different media outlets. AfriStartup – OpenHub is always looking for products and services of entrepreneurs to introduce to our members. This will therefore expose these entrepreneurs and what the do to the entire world.

For Africa to experience greater economic growth, we need to expose what we have to the entire world. There is no place we can do this better than the Internet. Sponsorship is a great way for your product or service to get noticed without you spending a fortune.

Form of Sponsorship Opportunity

The sponsorship opportunities will take the form of a blog post, an advert placement or logo on our websites. We will run it on many sites as well as partner blogs that we work with depending on the client’s needs.

The ads in particular will run for a 30-day period meanwhile the blog post will be there for a while. Note that the content will remain on our site but will not be featured on our sponsored post section on the home page. If you will need the services of a graphic designer to design your ad, get in touch with us and we will recommend you the best.

Requirements for Sponsored Posts

Advertisers are normally supposed to provide to us the post(s). Note should be taken that sponsored posts should not carry any form of advertisement. They should carry valuable content that our readers will gain something from. A good article quality will mean many people will read after it has been submitted. The posts will be promoted via social media. Below are some of the requirements of a sponsored post:

The number of words per sponsored post should not be less than 300 or more than 350 words
